I will edit your story to make it shine
About this Gig
A good cover will get a reader to click on your book, a solid blurb will make them read it...but a great edit will make your writing shine and keep them coming back as a loyal reader.
Developmental edits focus on the big picture of a manuscript, addressing potential issues with its overall structure, plot, character development, pacing, and other core storytelling elements.
Line edits occur after developmental edits. Also known as stylistic editing, these come with inline notes to assist with language use, tone, style, as well as grammar and mechanics. Line edits seek to refine vocabulary by replacing vague or repetitive words, addressing echoes and filtering phrases, and suggesting stronger, more precise alternatives that match with the author's intended tone and style.
Copy edits address technical correctness. It ensures your manuscript is free of grammatical errors, typos, and follows consistent style rules.
I strive to finish all edits before the estimated completion date, but this can depend on how much work your project needs. Extra wordcounts can extend the turnaround time. Feel free to message me to discuss any deadlines in advance so I can meet your needs!
